PALO ALTO  – Facebook continues to deny rumors it is shutting down on July 15th of 2012.  WWN, however, has confirmed that it is true.On January 9th, WWN’s ace reporter, J.B. Smitts, broke the international story that Facebook was going to close down on July 15th because Mark Zuckerberg wanted to return to a normal life.   The story caused a worldwide sensation, and J.B. Smitts has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for breaking it (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).

READ WWN’s ORIGINAL FACEBOOK STORY 

      Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg has publicly denied the rumors, saying, “Facebook is not going to close down.  Not now, not ever.  We’re just getting started.”David Ebersman, the CFO of Facebook, and the man working with Goldman Sachs on the new Facebook financing deal said, “many people feel that the deal with Goldman Sachs will lead to a change in Facebook or that we might shut down so the government won’t force us to go public.  All of those rumors are false.  We are going to be stronger than ever after July 15th.”(from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/). 

      But WWN has spoken to insiders at Facebook who strongly contradict the public statements of the executive management team (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).

getting frustrated

      Sources inside Facebook tell us that the company is already making plans on how to handle the big shutdown.  “We can’t just turn it off on July 15th of 2012.  There will be a revolution,” said one insider.  “We have to prepare our users for the end of Facebook and offer them ways to keep their social networks alive.”

     Zuckerberg maintains that one year is enough time for users to prepare for the demise of Facebook.  It also gives rival sites time to build up their user base (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).

       There were rumors that Zuckerberg himself was going to appear on the Oscars or a the Super Bowl,  but Zuckerberg did not show up at either event.  New rumors are that Zuckerberg will make “an important announcement to the world” about the future of Facebook when he meets with President Obama in the White House on June 15th (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).

     Meanwhile, there is panic all around the globe as Facebook users (and addicts) are frightened that they may lose their social networking community.  Top celebrities Tyra Banks, Mila Kunis, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Ashton Kutchter, Carrot Top, Meryl Streep, Danny Bonaduce and the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta are all panicking about losing Facebook.  “I’m addicted to Facebook,” said Tyra Banks. “Without it, my life is over!” (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).

An example of a Facebook Addict

    An online petition was started just hours ago to help persuade Zuckerberg and Facebook to remain open. SIGN THE “SAVE FACEBOOK” PETITION HERE.

    The organizer of the “Please Do Not Shut Down Facebook Petition”, Fritz Barnkopf, said, “we hope to get a million or more signatures before the Oscars, so Mark Zuckerberg will reconsider his tragic decision.” WWN is following this developing story closely – constantly talking with Facebook insiders.  We certainly are rooting for Facebook to continue because it’s an important part of our own social media strategy and leading source for our site visits (from http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/28019/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th-update/).
